The classic skis look stable. I don't understand why rollerski manufactures have such a small gap between the fork and wheel? This is where/how stones get jammed - throwing the skier off balance! I would think a design where the gap is maximized allowing stones to clear this space would be safer? I...

On most classic skis do you apply grip wax (or are they all fishscale)? I wonder if its possible to design a "skin" combo ski? I don't know what is most common nowadays. 30 years ago it was almost only grip wax skis. Then came fish scales, and now the latest years skin skis. In competitio...

FF Rollerskis are innovative and built with great knowledge, and it would be interesting to try them. They use a kind of external and bigger version of the Elpex Evolution suspension fork. The classic style wheels look especially intriguing.

Magnus is keeping a list here , and I'm updating one on the Norwegian rollerski wikipedia entry here . Should probably do one on the English Wikipedia page too. I assume you called yourself Bukken Bruse at Wikipedia. Your entry was removed. Interesting. One of the many Wikipedia pseudonyms removed ...

I think the Fischer argument is you lift the rear wheel at some point in the stroke so can no longer kick, although I can't see much force on the front wheel at this point either. When the rear wheel is lifted the active kick phase is over. One would need a fixed heel if a front wheel kick would be...

Hello, David, and thanks for the photo! I believe the ratchet in the front wheel is better for avoiding a so-called late kick since the binding is normally mounted a little behind balance point which makes the rear wheel getting more downward pressure than the front wheel, especially if one kicks wi...

After having watched the Vimeo videos by Rottefella, it looked like the Move System for integrated NIS plates (NIS 1.0) was the hardest to operate; the binding seemed to glide better on both RMP and IFP.

Yes, see at the bottom of the page here: https://www.rottefella.com/move-system The different Switch Kits: https://www.rottefella.com/bindings-accessories/bindings-for-cross-country/move OK, thanks! However, from what I have seen now, one can't use anything else than a Rottefella NIS 2.0 binding to...
